  1. Re:Review on Parrot iPod-Controlled Quadricopter Launches This Week · · Score: 2, Informative
    From the same review:

    We should also mention that the control software for the AR.Drone is Open Source; while it only currently runs on the iPhone and iPod Touch, versions for Android and other devices should be forthcoming.

    Well, at least I'm going to get a free iPhone out of it, or so I've heard.

    And that will make you popular!

  3. One question on HP Backs Memristor Mass Production · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Because they are formed as a film between two wires, they don't have to be implanted into the silicon surface — as do transistors, which form the storage locations in Flash — so they could be built in layers in 3D

    Cool, but will they require special glasses?

  4. Re:Molestation charge on Assange Rape Case Reopened · · Score: 1

    Does the US military make a difference regarding the sex of the "victim"? Or are the cases you mention just as valid if it's a soldier wife and a drunk husband?

    But of course there are a lot of laws which are written in one way and interpreted in another, or not actually implemented at all. And that's probably a good thing.

    Nope, and I never said they were hot.

    How this got modded up is beyond me. I've lived in Sweden for my entire life, and I while this country has its pros and cons just as any country, what you describe just isn't true.

    In Sweden everything that a woman can find offensive is a molestation charge. And if they have consentual sex while mutually pissing drunk, then it's rape.

    Umm, I've never even heard of a woman filing molestation charges for just being "offended". Where did you get that from? And I've had consensual sex (yeah, this is /. I know) "while mutual pissing drunk" countless times without ever beeing accused or even afraid of such accusations.

    This is more or less the consequences of senior socialist politicians getting too much power, enabling them to take their reality-detached feminist education pet projects too far. The swedish political system is similar to the US. In the us you either chose between the elephant right wing or the donkey right wing. In sweden you chose between the blue socialists or the red socialists, though of course, the red socialists have had two decades in power so they've been able to entrench the country with their north korean style indoctrination for a while now so things are even more stagnated.

    As a liberal I'm inclined to agree to a certain extent, but "north korean style indoctrination"? Geez, let's get some perspective.

  7. Re:Buzzwords on Flight Data Recorders, Decades Out of Date · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sure, it would be a nice feature for the black box to somehow send its data somewhere safe. If "cloud computing" is nothing more than sending data to a remote server, well I guess this post fits the bill as well, making it nothing more than a useless buzzword.

  8. Buzzwords on Flight Data Recorders, Decades Out of Date · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would a black box need to use cloud computing or mesh networks?

    Just because new technologies have emerged doesn't mean they are necessarily applicable in all areas of computing. My knowledge in this field is limited, but I just don't see the point of a twittering black box, or whatever web 2.0 meme is the flavor of the day.

    But rather the notion that putting people in prison for "crimes" such as smoking pot is a good idea. A national disgrace indeed.

    Yeah, and they'll probably end up in a duel for life or death (Hay'chu') over that "to be or not to be?" question..

  12. Re:Too many changes? on Rails 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Rapid changes are also more expected since it is a (comparatively) new framework. Development of fancy features is likely to slow down as the code base matures.

    I wasn't commenting on your joke, but the following "haha" post. But yeah your joke lacked both "informative content or even a good point" so it should probably have been modded +5 :)

    Most likely the majority of those are simple denial of service attacks.
